“11. Content licence from you”

“11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights that you already hold in Content that you submit, post or display on or through the Services.

This appears to indicate that anything that you send via this browser becomes the property of Google for their purposes; and gives them the right to display such publicly om the Internet.

With this in mind I’m wary about using it.

How do others interpret this? I’d be interested to find out what you think.

The speed is great, the system resources stayed low and it rendered most websites I tested very well. One of the best features is the Paste and Go option they inherited from Opera. This is one option I wish FF had also. I did find Java to be a pain in the butt when logging into Webmin on my Web Server. It displayed a message that the plug-in was not available. Overall, I give Google Chrome 2 thumbs up. Google has done a nice job for this to be a Beta release.

It was very fast at loading pages but I still dont think it offers the versatility of FF. When there are add-ons and its gone through some more development it may well be a winner but great beta release nice work google! I don't use google apps so the gears integration is of no relevance to me personally. If google can now release their own Linux distro with all their apps, browser and other software built in it could be total domination. tried Chome this morning, very fast, quite nice look to it, to be honest with the bookmark toolbar its very much like firefox and rendered the pages and CSS more like firefox than any other browser.

Newsflash, it ain't. As I said, Chrome has some great ideas that all browsers, even IE can benefit from, sandboxing the tabs is just brilliant.

I don't see any real good reason to switch from Firefox. This makes it sorta like the Vista release doesn't it? I’m going to pass. I don’t see any real good reason to switch from Firefox.

A lot of my plugins like skyp, roboform and others dont work YET! I agree i couldnt do without Firefox plugins, so will probably wait for further developements. Its all about Browsers catching up with web 2.0, it seems that they are lagging behind in the techy race.
